Description
"We are filing (a case) on behalf of our parents who are political prisoners being prosecuted for their opposition to the power grab by Kais Saied" says Yusra Ghannouchi, daughter of Rached Ghannouchi, the former speaker of parliament in Tunisia. Alongside other family members of Tunisian opposition figures detained in a government crackdown, she is seeking the immediate release of her loved ones with a case bought to the African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights. Since early February, the authorities have arrested more than 20 political opponents and other personalities, an act that has been condemned by the international community and rights groups. "What we see (in Tunisia)is the will to reestablish dictatorship" she adds. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
